  1. changeling says:

    to wash your texass

    • Leila - Marius's Otha Sista From Another Mista says:

      Don’t call Houston when it burns cuz that’s your problem.

    • Em says:

      Look at it closely, the brand is called New Mexico Soap. I checked the website, they sell soap. It’s not funny since they didn’t make a mistake.

      • Mike Eeeee says:

        It’s funny because they labelled Texas with the words “New Mexico”.
        *facepalm*

        • xv745 of the 12° Rotated Quilt Clan says:

          I want another shot!

          *gulp*

        • Em says:

          I guess i wasn’t detailed enough. I know the soap is in the shape of Texas.

        • Truth Hertz says:

          *facepalm* yourself. They sell soaps of all shapes, including other states. The brand is called New Mexico soap. Are they supposed to change the brand name for every shape they make?

          • Froggy says:

            Maybe they could just make it smaller. Keep it at the newmexicosoap.com thing in the corner and label each state differently. Or with a generic tag that doesn’t seem so stupid. ”

            Definitely a marketing fail.

      • David R. says:

        Correct. It’s the brand, not the state the soap is supposed to be of. No mistake, not funny.

      • JJtoob says:

        The only mistake is not providing the name of the state in the front label. You know, like when you buy Dove brand soap, it’s not dove scented (I hope), but they do give you a name for the scent it has.

        • Random says:

          Yeah everyone seems to be failing to realize at first glance you think; New Mexico Soap = the shape. Like someone misslabled the New Mexico Soap, Texas Soap, etc etc.

          It’s only at the 3/5th glance that I noticed the website- which only provided confusion.

          It’s still lol and fail because they did labeling so wrong.

      • matthew says:

        Well, a soap bar shaped like new mexico would just look like a bar of soap, with a little dent on one side. Pretty boring if you ask me. Yup, I think they made a good choice in shaping it like Texas; after all, Texas is where it’s at.

    • aphexZero says:

      Or maybe your taxtikkles?

    • jake says:

      you guys are so dumb its just a label some jerkoff kid who had to stick on lables while bored at his job im sure they have new mexico soaps and texas stickers as well. not that big of a fail

  2. Jules ♂ ♪ says:

    Close enough.

  3. nightshayde says:

    I’m surprised they didn’t put an apostrophe into “soaps.”

  4. Starfish says:

    That’s actually old Mexico.

  5. Little Girl Blue >ZAP!< Dot Org - Marius's Sista From Another Mista and Starfishy's Gutta Buddy and Wearing Small Bits of ZA says:

    Ruh-roh! Leila’s not gonna be too happy about this one…

    *covers sis’s eyes*
    *plies with several mojitos*

    • Leila - Marius's Otha Sista From Another Mista says:

      *shakes head*

      Do you ever wonder why so many fails involve TX?

      • ZombieApocalypse - wearing a heavily soiled and blood soaked ~I ♥ Bloggy~ t-shirt, sporting a skull that is smashed and split open with his brainz exposed, a sign around his neck reading "GONE FISSION" and riding a pale zombie horse named Pooka says:

        No.

        • Leila - Marius's Otha Sista From Another Mista says:

          K. *pouts*

          I need a very strong drink.

          • ZombieApocalypse - wearing a heavily soiled and blood soaked ~I ♥ Bloggy~ t-shirt, sporting a skull that is smashed and split open with his brainz exposed, a sign around his neck reading "GONE FISSION" and riding a pale zombie horse named Pooka says:

            Would it help if I said I sometimes wonder why more fails don’t involve CA?

            • Leila - Marius's Otha Sista From Another Mista says:

              If you are referring to the HS kids who got suspended from school for wearing t-shirts withe the American flag on them then I wonder the same thing.

              • ZombieApocalypse - wearing a heavily soiled and blood soaked ~I ♥ Bloggy~ t-shirt, sporting a skull that is smashed and split open with his brainz exposed, a sign around his neck reading "GONE FISSION" and riding a pale zombie horse named Pooka says:

                Huh? Do I want to know?

                *confuzzled*

                • You do. CLICKIE!!! Google other news providers if you aren’t a Fox fan.

                  • ZombieApocalypse - wearing a heavily soiled and blood soaked ~I ♥ Bloggy~ t-shirt, sporting a skull that is smashed and split open with his brainz exposed, a sign around his neck reading "GONE FISSION" and riding a pale zombie horse named Pooka says:

                    Wow, only faux “news” would actually print the names of the teenage boys in question. Not trying to inspire a race war, are they?

                    *lurches off, growling in anger*

                    • Essayons says:

                      Every news is faux news. You only label Fox in such a way because that particular station leans opposite of your views. It’s funny how the mind works.

                    • Random says:

                      BECAUSE IF IT WAS WHITE OR BLACK PEOPLEZ IT’D NOT BE RACIST AMIRITE.

                      O WAIT I MEAN JUST WHITE PEOPLEZ. NAMING ANYONE OF COLOR IS RACIST.

                      Raciiiiist.

                  • DanMan says:

                    Wow! That article angered me.

                • ZombieApocalypse - wearing a heavily soiled and blood soaked ~I ♥ Bloggy~ t-shirt, sporting a skull that is smashed and split open with his brainz exposed, a sign around his neck reading "GONE FISSION" and riding a pale zombie horse named Pooka says:

                  Alright, I just Googled it. No, I didn’t want to know. I kinda see where they were coming from, but to be threatened with suspension for wearing the American flag in an American classroom is about as far from acceptable as you can get without killing people.

                  • Leila - Marius's Otha Sista From Another Mista says:

                    When I was studying to take my American citizenship test, I didn’t see where they indicated that I may one day be told not to wear my American flag in the United States.

                    • blackgarnets says:

                      There are many who don’t like to see any other flag in the country than the US flag. It’s funny to see one person afraid it will lead to conflict. Especially when nothing other than lunch was going on.

                    • Hope says:

                      It is disrespectful to the flag to wear it as clothing.

                      • Random says:

                        And to burn flags, yet we still allow the burning of flags because ‘lol freedom of speech’. Mean only our flags.

                        Cause burning other flags of other nations is racist.

                        Or something.

          • Critter Rhode says:

            *calls Mr. Margarita*
            Hello… Yes, I want to rent a machine for a friend…. oh, about a weeks worth….. Ok. Thanks bye.

            Ok, Leila. It should be there in less than an hour. Enjoy. :-)

      • Critter Rhode says:

        Because I live here?

  6. Uggy-Buggy (ate the bugga-boo) says:

    This is a sad state of affairs…

  7. Jules ♂ ♪ says:

    It’s says it’s made in America, and for some reason I believe that.

  8. Mentle says:

    still top10 \o/

  9. Ms B ♥ says:

    What a mix-up. I wonder if this is really soap then? Perhaps it’s cheese?

  10. Tofu Mogu says:

    10th! \o/-WooHoo!

  11. Mentos says:

    The [i]real[/i] fail is that the New Mexico Soap manufacturer made a bar of soap that resembles Texas. :roll:

    • Mentos says:

      italics fail :(

    • ZombieApocalypse - wearing a heavily soiled and blood soaked ~I ♥ Bloggy~ t-shirt, sporting a massive head wound with his brainz exposed, a sign around his neck reading "GONE FISSION" and riding a pale zombie horse named Pooka says:

      I thought it was your HTML skillz that was the real fail. ;)

      • ZombieApocalypse - wearing a heavily soiled and blood soaked ~I ♥ Bloggy~ t-shirt, sporting a massive head wound with his brainz exposed, a sign around his neck reading "GONE FISSION" and riding a pale zombie horse named Pooka says:

        … or was it my refresh fail?

  12. Uggy-Buggy (ate the bugga-boo) says:

    *waits for a quilt to inform us that it’s merely the name of the soap company and that they make them for every state*

    • Little Girl Blue >ZAP!< Dot Org - Marius's Sista From Another Mista and Starfishy's Gutta Buddy and Wearing Small Bits of ZA says:

        Is it…

        a blue one?!?

        *licks lips*

        • Little Girl Blue >ZAP!< Dot Org - Marius's Sista From Another Mista and Starfishy's Gutta Buddy and Wearing Small Bits of ZA says:

          You like? I put little tassles on the collar for you…

          • Uggy-Buggy (ate the bugga-boo) says:

            *NOMS*

            Yummy! You really must give me the recipe. :mrgreen:

            • Little Girl Blue >ZAP!< Dot Org - Marius's Sista From Another Mista and Starfishy's Gutta Buddy and Wearing Small Bits of ZA says:

              Well, I could give it to you, but then I’d have to squeeze you…

              • Uggy-Buggy (ate the bugga-boo) says:

                Not if I squeeze you first!

                *MegaSqueeeeze*

                • Little Girl Blue >ZAP!< Dot Org - Marius's Sista From Another Mista and Starfishy's Gutta Buddy and Wearing Small Bits of ZA says:

                  *breffus gets knocked out*

                  That was a good one — I felt it all the way down to my toes! :D

                  Okay, the recipe is … *whispers in Uggy’s ear*

                  *squeeeeeze*

          Does it have five arm holes?

          *licks lips*

          *doesn’t say who’s*

  13. TMI Service says:

    Time to come clean …

    “New Mexico Soap” is the name of a soap manufacturing company (more or less obvious — with the inclusion of their website address there on the package label). They make soaps in many shapes and designs, including the shapes of states.

    ht tp://www.newmexicosoap.com/store/WsDefault.asp?One=5

  14. Arrribariba says:

    To the Mexicans it is.

  15. Brian says:

    Would you even bother labeling a New Mexico soap bar? Wouldn’t it look just like an ordinary soap bar, only more square?

  16. Leila - Marius's Otha Sista From Another Mista says:

    BUAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! I LOVE IT!!! :mrgreen:

  17. Jules ♂ ♪ says:

    New Mexico soaps is the company name, so technically this is not a fail, but it is still hilarious.

  18. CJT says:

    Thats the company name you idiots.

  19. *shouts angry curse words at Bloggy*

    • Leila - Marius's Otha Sista From Another Mista says:

      *chases BF with soap*

      Com’ere!!!! We’re washing those curses right out of your mouth young man!!!!

  20. WZX says:

    For those who don’t know, New Mexico is right next to Texas. Just a little Texas love considering part of their business is in Texas. Why is their a Kentucky Fried Chicken in New York, because it’s just a name. Fail blog fails this time.

  21. DanMan says:

    I would just like to give all you fail peeps a big Texas size HAPPY FRIDAY!!

  22. Tina says:

    Ok so the New Mexico Soap company can’t make soaps in the shape of other states? Oh how dare they! Submitter fail.

  23. bla says:

    Times change.
    Red becomes the new blue, gin becomes the new whiskey

    and in this bad economy Texas becomes the new MEXICO.

    • Mentos says:

      You’re right – time is always changing
      *Looks at clock*
      *Shakes fist*
      One of these days….!

      • changeling says:

        I’m only a little change.

        • changeling says:
          dimes is always changing
          • pittypat says:

            But you havent ;) changed one bit!

            • TMI Service says:

              Changeling is just a little bit short …

              In the U.S., the “bit” as a designation for money dates from the colonial period, when a common unit of currency was the Spanish milled dollar. As a way of making change, these dollars were cut into eight pie-slice shaped pieces which were called “bits”. Each eighth-dollar bit was then worth 12.5 cents, “two bits” was a quarter of a dollar (25 cents), “four bits” was a half-dollar (50 cents) and “six bits” was 75 cents. Because there was no one-bit coin, a dime (10 ¢) was sometimes called a short bit and 15c a long bit.  ~Wikipedia

  24. Mitch says:

    Its because Texas is the new Mexico. Its an illegal alien joke. Duh.

      And it’s final. The Death Star’s automated phone system has finally driven me insane, to the point where even Failpeep’s posts read like it.

    • Tofu Mogu says:

      *presses two*
      *waits*

  26. Rampant says:

    Somebody messed with Texas

  27. IcarusPhoenix says:

    As a native New Mexican, I would like to say that the sentiment that the submitter was trying to convey is a new one, but, regrettably, it isn’t – as demonstrated by the number of people here making jokes about Mexico.

    The “made in America” comment Jules made is actually relevant. New Mexico magazine actually has a monthly feature called “One of Our Fifty is Missing” of anecdotes in which New Mexicans traveling out of state are complimented on their English, charged international shipping, denied services as non-American citizens, asked for their passport, treated as if Albuquerque is a fictional city created by Bugs Bunny, or just generally confronted with shock and/or disbelief that New Mexico is, in fact, a real state. The best ones include the post office trying to charge international shipping for a package being mailed by the then-Governor and the New York Times printing a front page story about border issues and labeling the state just west of Texas as Arizona.

    It should be noted that when we travel internationally, we don’t have this problem. Only Americans can’t seem to find us on a map.

    On another note, even with the part where a New Mexican made this soap, it’s still a Fail; we have more inherent animosity towards Texas than anyone else. It’s genetic.

    • ZombieApocalypse - wearing a heavily soiled and blood soaked ~I ♥ Bloggy~ t-shirt, sporting a skull that is smashed and split wide open with his brainz exposed, a sign around his neck reading "GONE FISSION" and riding a pale zombie horse named Pooka says:

      I see your lips moving, but all I hear is blah blah blah blah blah.

      tl;dnr
    • nightshayde says:

      Back in 1996, a friend who was living in New Mexico had trouble ordering Olympics tickets. The order-taker on the phone told her they couldn’t accept international orders.

      Friend: But I’m in New Mexico.

      Geographically-Challenged Phone Person: New Mexico, Old Mexico – it doesn’t matter. WE DON’T TAKE INTERNATIONAL ORDERS. *click*
      :roll:

      • ZombieBrainDamage - wearing a heavily soiled and blood soaked ~I ♥ Bloggy~ t-shirt, sporting a skull that is smashed and split wide open with his brainz exposed, a sign around his neck reading "GONE FISSION" and riding a pale zombie horse named Pooka says:

        I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children.

      • Em says:

        Wow, hahahaha. someone need to make a skit about that convo.

    • Em says:

      You make me want a New Mexico ID. This will make me filter out who are geographically challenged and who aren’t.

  28. bobbobbob says:

    new mexico soap might be the brand name retards

  29. Zo says:

    Shouldn’t that be shaped like Mexico?

  30. Tomcruise says:

    not a fail.. its a brand… not what it is :( .. so its not funny

  31. Tartsonawire says:

    Oh, the irony….

  32. aphexZero says:

    New Old Mexico?

  33. Darby says:

    The Mexicans are planing to take back Texas.

  34. fsdafsda says:

    I don’t get it. New Mexico is a state in USA. I guess it’s the wrong shape? Or is it just supposed to be funny that someone would make soap in shape of a state?

  35. Sud_Vicious says:

    That’s the New New Mexico.

  36. wtfbbq!! says:

    This is actually a win…

  37. mclovinpo says:

    lol I live in New MexicoAnd what I find weird is whenever I go to Texas and say i’m from NM they ask “How did you get into the USA so easy?” Now thats a fail…

  38. Skeletor says:

    THATS OHIO YOU DOUCHE!

  39. E says:

    pretty silly, but i am from NM and that is actually a company in New Mexico that makes many different soaps, including state shapes. I do think they may want to have better labels though.

  40. Eway says:

    failblog fail

  41. Criss says:

    Thats why things aren’t made in America :D

  42. zeldadane says:

    I’ve met the lady who owns the NM soap business. Her business is located in Las Cruces NM. That’s 30 minutes from TX. Believe me she sells a lot of her TX shaped New Mexican made soap.

  43. Sorsha says:

    “Made in America”

    New Mexico/Texas soap.

    Oh the American education system is hard at work.

  44. Fezz says:

    I think that that’s a win

  45. Ed says:

    Fail, no.
    EPIC WIN
    Texas: the New Mexico ;)

  46. Stig says:

    Pretty sure “New Mexico Soap” is just the name of the company. Not a fail.

  47. EL NUEVO MEXICANO PSYCHP VATO LOCO!!!!! says:

    WE WASH OUR BALLS ON TEXAS!!!!!!!

  48. Tom says:

    Wow. Who would want to smell like New Mexico? Or Texas for that matter…

  49. ajfakf says:

    hahaha… texas is like new mexico because there are so many mexicans there…

  50. Sexy Sadie says:

    Oh, there’s a NEW Mexico!

  51. MrOpinion says:

    Of course it’s a FAIL …. just ask a Mexican
    they call Texas “OLD MEXICO” ..
    . darn them American print shops .. they can’t get anything right

  52. The Xenocrat says:

    Don’t drop the soap, guys!

  53. Iva says:

    Yet another fail blog failure.

  54. Katt says:

    I dunno guys. I think this might be a WIN… Texas is turning into a new Mexico…

  55. madtwat! says:

    i sell wyoming soap too… 20 bucks/piece (any alike with normal soap its just a coincidence)

  56. Thun says:

    Geography must’ve been knocked out after that.

  57. person says:

    don’t drop it

  58. Dave says:

    is it like floating?

  59. rs says:

    The best thing is that i live in N.M. and couldn’t figure out what was wrong with this picture until I read the caption. I’m a genius.

  60. Giraffe says:

    Maybe it’s because I just woke up, but is that soap floating in the air?

  61. Julya says:

    I want a soap in the shape of Colorado!

  62. Mojo says:

    Teas is not New Mexico… it’s North Mexico.

  63. f-texas says:

    Texas sucks balls, I wouldn’t even wash my balls with it.

  64. tc says:

    That’s kind of like a Panama hat.

  65. Oneill5491 says:

    The only fail here is that it should be “new NEW Mexico.”

  66. Lienn says:

    This isn’t really a fail if you think about it. New Mexico Soap is the brand, therefore they are not limited to only produce soap in the form on the one state. There are far better fails on the site than this. Just sayin’

  67. bollox says:

    “Texas is not New Mexico.”

    No, it’s not . . . it’s NORTH Mexico.

  68. Scott says:

    Truly American, bad geography

  69. Zoombie says:

    The sticker shows the name of the company, seriously, you want to see bad geographers, go to France. Last time I was there no one could figure out the shape of their own country.

  70. Heya i am for the primary time here. I came across this board and I in finding It really useful & it helped me out a lot. I am hoping to give something back and help others such as you aided me.
